There are an increasing number of fraudulent websites that impersonate ESCMID Global. We would like to alert all our members and delegates to possible scams and we strongly advise you to use only the official ESCMID Global online registration for your bookings.
We have been alerted to ongoing fraudulent attempts targeting ESCMID Global participants and faculty as well as ESCMID Members. Scammers are impersonating ESCMID Global to steal personal and financial information, particularly regarding the congress registration and accommodation bookings.
These fraudsters claim to handle registration and accommodation on our behalf. This is FALSE. They may offer incorrect pricing, request credit card details, or provide fake invoices. These scammers typically operate by scraping publicly accessible sources and contacting speakers directly. Please be assured that ESCMID maintains a very high level of data protection.
